Warp Speed

by Raymond D Smith

Gallery: LandscapePosted December 13, 2010101 views8 comments
This photo was taken a little later in the evening as my last post. This is looking 180 degree's from that view and down the shore a bit. The sun had already gone down and the winds had picked up. You can see the storm pushing to the south of me.

Just wondering again if the white balance and colour saturation is appropriate, not over done. Is there too much sky in this one? It seems I like to have a lot of sky in my pics.

Canon 5D iso200 17mm f16 45sec. and I think a 2 stop soft grad. Dodged and burn using TK's luminosty masks. Thanks for all C&C

Raymond, IMO the sky and clouds really add to this image- give it that warp speed.

The sky and arrangement of rocks complement each other. I think you've handled the composition and processing very well.

Raymond, I think the sky and processing are done very well. I like the movement in the clouds. The lighting is not particularly thrilling for the subject but perhaps that was not your intention.

The white balance and saturation look good to me. I can see a crop of the sky, but then you would lose some of that streaming effect, which is interesting.

Well seen, composed and executed Raymond, I like the detail in the rocks. The clouds make the Image for me. Nicely done.

Excellent composition, and shutter speed! Although this is muted/ almost somber, I like it quite a bit.

Nice. I like the arrangements of both the rocks and clouds and the soft colors.
